okay I hope dis doesn't qualify as spamming but I need another translation, if any one could help me that would be greatly appreciated, this is for my senseis 40th birthday so if anyone could translate the whole thing that would be awesome.

"May you always be proud to be a ninja. May you always be quick to seize any opertunety, and may you always keep the fighting spirit of ninjitsu.

What is your deal? Who goes up to people and says that? Didn't your mother teach you manners? Not only was that blatantly rude, but you're in no position to talk. You don't speak Japanese, and I'm sure you didn't know the kanji for "war" either. I'm learning too, thus, I will admit my mistakes and learn something new. I was taught war another way, so now I'm surprised. However, I will certainly take criticism from a native. Stop coming here and trying to contradict everything I say. It's not mature, it doesn't make you look smart, and it's just rude. I hate using this against people but for you, it's obvious. You don't speak Japanese. I don't care how many people you have hung out with, I have never seen you speak Japanese on this forum nor have I seen something telling me you have passed Anime Lyrics' test.

To the people who are arguing... 1. that was a rude way of saying "sensou is a very commonly used word, omg why are you trying to pretend like it's rare" or whatever your implications were... 2. to the person who didn't know sensou. When you don't know something, just say thanks for telling me, and don't act like it's some rare word or phrase you've never heard before, because if it's an everyday word and you act like it's some rare word that no beginner Japanese student would know, then those who know Japanese better than you will probably flame you.

Note that this was not a flame, I have nothing against you not knowing sensou, I just think that you could have made a less flame-attractive post.

Now, back to the topic at hand.

for me!
Love
passion
hate
war
patience
anger
soulmate
life
death
winter
summer
spring
autum
the pursuit of happiness.

Help on this would really be appreciated, thank you.

I wasn't sure if you wanted one kanji or just a Japanese word and not care about how many kanji... so I made one of both.

for me!＝我＝我が為 (I didn't know if this was in the list, but note that this is not modern Japanese, it's a cool old Japanese saying like "for country" except "for self" but don't just use it in sentence without knowing Japanese properly cuz it's not modern)
Love=愛＝愛情
passion＝情＝情熱
hate＝憎＝憎しみ
war＝戦＝戦争
patience＝耐＝忍耐
anger＝怒＝怒り
soulmate＝can't think of one kanji = 運命の人
life＝生＝命
death＝死＝他界
winter＝冬
summer＝夏
spring＝春
autum＝秋
the pursuit of happiness.=can't think of just one=幸福の追求 (this is what they say in textbook of translated USA Declaration of Independence.)

2. to the person who didn't know sensou. When you don't know something, just say thanks for telling me, and don't act like it's some rare word or phrase you've never heard before, because if it's an everyday word and you act like it's some rare word that no beginner Japanese student would know, then those who know Japanese better than you will probably flame you.

Note that this was not a flame, I have nothing against you not knowing sensou, I just think that you could have made a less flame-attractive post.

Exactly what was so "flame-attractive" about P-san's post? If you noticed, the only person who was flaming was a member who's Japanese is far worse than P-san's.

And P-san did thank me for correcting her (if "correcting" is even the right word, seeing as how the Kanji P-san suggested can be used). And she was simply stating her surprise that she had never heard the term before, even though it is the most commonly used.

wow that a silly littel thread like this can cause so much troubel, thanks for everyone who replied I appreciate it, Pengin-san, dabura667 thank you for the translations and suzumi thank you for the correction on the "war" symbol, I'm really sorry that this caused everyone so much troubel. If possibel I would like this thread closed to prevent further fighting.
